All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

I will always admit immediately to what’s obvious, which is that homo sapiens is inherently erotic or sensual from birth.

If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'll have the directors of every museum in the country as expert testimony that my work is legitimate art.

In fact, I don’t believe I’m guilty of any crimes, but I’ve always been drawn to and fascinated by physical, sexual, and psychological change, and there’s an erotic aspect to that.

Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot's done.

What I'm good at is making art.

The kids really enjoy what they do. I check with them constantly to make sure that they're really happy to be there.
